Marine Coatings

Conference Scheduled

For May 5-6 In N.Y.

The Eleventh Annual Marine

Coatings Conference will be held

May 5-6, 1971, in New York City.

The theme of the conference, sponsored by the National Paint,

Varnish and Lacquer Association,

Washington, D.C., is "Marine In- dustry—Total Concept." Three

World's largest electro-hydraulic steering gear assembled in Kawasaki Heavy Industries' shop for testing. The overall width of the unit is 33 feet 1 1 inches and it measures 1 7 feet 4 inches in the fore-and-aft direction. Its height is 6 feet 5 inches.

Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd., of Japan has completed and delivered the world's largest electro-hydraulic steering gear. The unit ca

This ship is under construction at the Kure Shipyard of Ishikawajima-

Harima Heavy Industries for Tokyo

Tankers, Ltd., and will be delivered this fall. The Nisseki Mara has a rudder 46 feet long, 36 feet wide and 5 feet 6 inches thick, weighing 208 tons.

Kawasaki has received orders for many large steering gears. Orders were placed with the firm for 80 sets of steering gears for ships of over 100,000 dwt, of which 40 units have been delivered. In addition, the firm has received an order for a huge electro-hydraulic steering gear with a torque of 1,029 tons for installation aboard a 477,000-dwt tanker sched- uled to be completed in February 1973 and delivered to Globtik Tank- ers, Inc. of the United Kingdom.

The unit for the Nisseki Maru has four hydraulic pumps. Three pumps are normally used for steering. These can move the rudder from 35 degrees on one side to 35 degrees on the other side at a rate of 65 degrees in 28 seconds (classification rule require- ment). For faster steering, all four of the pumps are operated. For se- lective steering while at sea it is nec- essary to operate only one or two pumps, depending upon sea con- ditions.

The high-pressure oil pumps of the axial-plunger type are housed in the oil tank and produce the neces- sary oil pressure. The precision mechanism controlling the pump dis- charge and the piping and couplings, all housed in the oil tank, are mainte- nance free due to their having am- ple lubrication. The oil check valve fitted to the pressure oil piping pre- vents the pumps from turning in reverse, which could be caused by the load coming from the tiller arm or other causes while the pumps are stopped. conference sessions will bring to- gether marine coatings manufac- turers, and other representatives of

Government and the marine indus- try, to discuss new developments, future trends, and common prob- lems.

The sessions will be held at the

Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, beginning

May 5 at 9:30 a.m. and concluding

May 6, with a luncheon featuring a prominent guest speaker.
